Evenin', Lieutenant.
Good evening, Corporal.
I'm surprised you're still here.
Yeah, I was just leavin' out.
Well, congratulations
are in order.
Congratulations for what?
Well, remember
when you came here all hot,
and bothered, and
angry at the world?
That was about a year ago.
Yeah, well,
you're headin' to Japan, son.
It was a mistake.
I'm past that now.
You know?
Well, a mistake, huh?
Well, we all make mistakes,
but PC is mandatory.
You're shippin' out.
Orders are orders.
Japan?
Is it permanent?
- Mmm, yeah, , years.
- !
I have a girlfriend, Lieutenant.
I can't do that.
Well, hopefully it's
not the same girlfriend
that you were trying
to get rid of.
I mean, if you loved her
as much as you love those
shoes that you always buy,
then we wouldn't be havin' this
conversation, now, would we?
She could stay here.
For years?
Yeah, and
by the end of the year,
you all can get married.
She's not gonna do that.
Hmm, sorry to hear that,
but congratulations.
What's goin' on, Earl?
Come on, Cuz.
There you go with
this Earl, man.
I told you, it's
Easy Dollars, man.
Gotta talk money just
to say my name, Cuz.
Anyway, man, I need a
favor from you, Cuz.
What is it now?
Well, you know me, Cuz.
I'm in the studio
doin' my thing.
Mm-hmm.
Hot fire!
- Hot fire, Cuz, you know?
- Sure.
Got this little track I'm
workin' on, Cuz, you know?
I might need to use
your headphones, man.
What headphones, Earl?
You took my last
two pair, remember?
Oh!
Them yours, Cuz?
My fault, man.
You know, don't even
worry about that, Cuz.
Anyway, you sure you got
somethin' goin' on, man?
You owe me for those
headphones, Earl.
I got you, Cuz.
You already know that, man.
Anyway...
I...
Let's go outside.
Come on.
Come on, man!
Cuz, you ain't got her
pregnant, do you, man?
Don't go to Maury, man.
I think he them people.
Come on!
About a year ago, man.
I got upset with Carla
over something stupid.
I marched right into
my lieutenant's office,
and requested to be shipped
away as far as possible,
as soon as possible.
And it went through.
What?
To Japan for years.
Come on, Cuz, man!
That girl got your head
all messed up, man.
You don't even know how to
eat with chopsticks, man!
That's crazy, man.
I guess congratulation, I guess.
No, no!
No, no, no, no.
Carla doesn't even know.
And she can't even go with me
unless we're married
by New Year's.
Come on, Cuz.
First thing I'd tell you, man,
you go ahead and leave, man.
Tell her you got the
COVID or somethin'.
You can't come back, man.
Quarantined.
That's not a good idea.
Earl, that's not a
good idea, man.
Blame it on Biden, man.
I'm telling you, Cuz.
Look, Carla is
the type of woman
to fly to Japan just to k*ll me.
So that's not quite
a good idea, Earl.
Well, if you tell her
before you leave, man,
she gonna k*ll you anyway, man.
At least you'll get a chance
to get some sushi
or somethin', Cuz.
Come on, Cuz.
You're makin' it too
complicated, man.
All you gotta do is get
her to marry ya, man.
Do somethin' special, Cuz.
Get her all happy, man.
And then when she
most vulnerable, Cuz,
she'll say yes to anything, man.
But when?
Well, hey, Cuz,
if it was me, man,
I already know
when it'll be, man.
But see, you might
not be blessed
in the same area as I am, Cuz.
I think you get that from your
momma's side of the family, man.
You might wanna wait
till she with her folks
or somethin', man.
Around the holiday
or somethin', Cuz.
That's the smartest
thing you said
this whole conversation.
Word, Cuz?
Christmas, that's a good idea.
I know it is, man.
Didn't I say it, Cuz?
Come on, baby.
This is Earl, baby.
- Mm-hmm.
- Easy Dollars, baby.
You know what I mean?
Mmhmm, uh-huh.
You do this right, Cuz, man.
Make her happy.
And make sure she's vulnerable,
she'll say yes to anything, man.
Well, this better work.
Of course it's
gonna work, man.
- You know it-
- And I want
my money for my headphones.
Come on, Cuz!
I'm just waitin' for
the album to drop, man.
Uhhuh.
It's on the way.
Cuz, classy, Cuz.
I ain't even doin'
it online, man.
Straight cassettes, Cuz.
Hey, babe!
You're home!
Hey, baby.
What's up?
- I missed you today.
- I missed you too.
So I figured out
what we're gonna do
for Christmas this year.
Oh, yeah?
What's up?
Yeah, you seem
very interested.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry, babe.
- Mm-hmm.
- I was actually lookin' up
something for us to do.
Mmhmm, okay, okay.
I decided we're gonna
make sugar cookies
in the shape of our initials.
Is that it?
"Is that it?"
Is that a bad idea?
Baby, you know there's
a lot of pressure.
I can't be what ruins
Christmas this year-
No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, babe.
That's actually a great idea.
You sure?
I'm sure.
That's genius, baby.
Who else is doin' that?
Well, I got the
idea of Pinterest,
so a lot of people.
It's a genius idea, babe.
Are you sure?
- Yes!
- Okay.
Matter of fact,
look, look, look.
I'm gonna help you out.
I'm gonna put down all
the ingredients to the T,
so I can make sure you
have everything you need.
Now you're just being weird!
Babe, we need to talk.
Is everything okay?
Kinda.
You know...
You remember when we got into
- that little situation-
- Sorry.
Sorry to interrupt.
Zeke called earlier.
He's been following everything
that's goin' on overseas,
and Japan is absolutely
insane, babe.
I'm so thankful that you aren't
stationed there right now.
I know it's crazy
here in America,
but over there, the killings
have gotten out of hand.
- Mm-hmm.
- I realized today,
that I would rather be
homeless, and hungry, and alone
than live in Japan.
I can't imagine what
it's like over there.
I didn't mean to cut you off.
What were you gonna say?
I love you.
Oh, I love you too.
There was a
call that I need to make.
Okay.
I almost forgot.
And I better go
ahead and do that.
- Okay.
- All right?
Mm-hmm.
♪ Hey, hey, hey ♪
Hey, babe.
What about this outfit?
Green dress, black heels.
♪ Hey, hey, hey, hey ♪
That outfit?
Yes, this outfit.
I thought we were just going
to your parents for
Christmas, babe?
That's a little bit too much.
"A little bit too much",
says the person
bringing $ sneakers?
They go with me everywhere.
You know that.
Yeah.
And you're going with me to
my parents for Christmas.
♪ Hey, hey, hey ♪
♪ Hey, hey, hey, hey ♪
Hey, baby, you can go ahead.
I'll get the bags.
- Okay, see you inside.
- All right, see you inside.
Boy, man, my hair lookin' like
a fresh stimulus check, ain't I?
Yeah, I'm here.
All right, cool,
that's good, man.
That's good, man.
Now, listen to me, Cuz.
Listen to me.
Go in there and start
workin' the family, Cuz.
Start workin' them like
MJ in the finals, man.
You heard me?
Dude, you know her
dad don't like me.
He don't like you, Cuz?
What you mean, man?
You wanna go be eating
sushi by yourself, man?
You better make
'em like you, man.
You heard me?
Yeah, I guess you're right.
You know I'm right, man.
Now, you go in there,
and you start with
her mama, man.
She ain't that bad,
as long as you don't start
drinkin' up her liquor.
You heard me?
The mom's a drunk?
I didn't notice.
Cuz, you don't know
a lot of things, man.
That's why you got me here, man.
Only reason the dad
don't like you, man,
'cause he don't want you to
take his only daughter, man.
You think that's what it is?
Think so?
I know so, man!
Don't you know a daughter
died on Christmas?
No, she didn't tell me that.
What?
Come on, man!
You ain't know there
was a car wreck, man?
Yeah, I knew it
was a car wreck,
but she didn't tell me
she died on Christmas.
Yeah.
But did you know the
car wreck happened
after she was fussin' with
her daddy, man, over some man?
Some boy, and they got
in an argument, Cuz.
They drove off, man.
Next thing you know,
her and the boy got in a wreck,
k*lled both of 'em, man.
I can't compete with that.
Of course you
can't compete with that, man.
That's why you got me here.
To be honest with you, Cuz,
sometime I just love seeing you
stress under the pressure, man.
But go do your thing, man.
Ain't got time to
be talkin' to me.
Lookin' hot.
Earl who, man?
It's Easy Dollars, baby!
Do you know
this is my second one.
Mama, your second
one this mornin'?
Like, don't you see
that's a problem?
Do you realize
how early it is?
Yeah, it was early
before then too.
Hey, you know what?
You know what?
- You look good.
- I look okay?
That's him, okay?
- Hey, baby!
- Hey!
- Hey, ladies.
- Teeth?
Hey!
Well, hey!
- How are you doin'?
- I'm good.
- Good to see you.
- Hey, Ms. Parker.
Good to see you.
Thanks for havin' me.
- Hey, baby.
- Hey, babe.
Doesn't the house
look wonderful?
- Wow, looks amazing.
- Mm-hmm.
Good work.
Yeah, you know, we
do this every year,
- Yeah.
- And we'll continue,
and we expect you and baby
girl to be with us every year.
Every year?
- Every year.
- Yes, all of 'em.
Every year?
- Mm-hmm.
- It's tradition, you know?
And as long as you don't
hurt my baby's heart,
you won't see a Christmas
any year, anywhere.
Mama, you sound
absolutely crazy when you say-
- I got to give this up.
Laurie?
Jason, this is Laurie.
Laurie, this is Jason.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
I can hear well.
Oh, good, good.
I told you about acting like
you've never been anywhere.
You see, this is why you
don't have any friends.
Okay, okay.
You gonna have
to excuse her.
She ain't wrapped too tight.
Mmm, gotcha.
So...
Anybody care for a drink?
- Or two?
- Mama, no!
Two.
So how are you doing?
Jason?
Jason, come here!
What?
This is my dad.
Okay, I see him.
He's alone.
You should go talk to him.
Baby, you know
that man don't like me.
It doesn't matter.
You are the two most
important men in my life.
You have got to find a
way to get along with him.
Jason, go talk to him.
We don't have
anything in common.
I don't know what-
You have me in common.
Jason, it's really
important to me.
Please go talk to him.
Please?
Okay.
Good luck, baby.
So nice Christmas, huh?
You're a basketball guy?
Let me guess, LeBron?
Lakers fan?
Ah, okay.
Kobe, huh?
Good guy, man.
Rest in peace.
You like ballerina?
You like twerkin'?
Oh.
Oh, you're a music guy.
Beyoncé, "Put a Ring on It"?
No?
Boy, what are you doing?
Just enjoying the moment, man.
You're sittin' here duckin'
and bouncin' back and forth
like someone's shootin' at you.
I'm just enjoying my time
with your family
during Christmas.
Stand up.
Stand up!
Lock it up.
What do you know about family?
I'm a very
family-oriented man myself,
and I can tell you
really love your family.
I mean, you guys have a
celebration every year.
You make sure your
daughter's there every year.
You know, I make
sure Carla is here every year
because I love her,
not because she's family.
Now, my brother-in-law,
he's family,
and he ain't invited here.
Listen, when you get a
daughter that you love,
that you care for,
that you would
sacrifice anything for,
and she dies because
of her bum boyfriend,
then you can talk
to me about family.
Hmm.
I got another pie!
- Thank you, mom.
- You got another one?
A whole pie!
Oh, my goodness!
This is amazing.
I don't know
if I can take anymore.
Is everything okay, Dad?
Yeah, just wanna give thanks.
- Sure.
- Lord, thank you for family,
and just keep those safe
who can't be with us
on this Christmas.
Amen.
Let's have some pie.
Yay!
Mrs. Parker, the
food was amazing.
Thank you.
It is every year, Mama.
It's delicious.
Yes, it was Mrs. Parker.
I love me some soul food.
It makes me feel black,
like James Brown black.
Girl, what is your problem?
Just eat the dern pie!
I see where
Carla gets it from.
This girl can
throw down in the kitchen.
All of my daughters can cook.
Both of 'em.
Yes, sir.
How's college?
Things are, honest,
a little bit weird
with the virtual and then
the campus being split.
But it's okay this semester.
Hybrid?
I was originally gonna
do all online classes,
but then I realized
I missed my friends,
and I missed my life,
and I had to get
out of the apartment.
And you're
staying safe, right?
Yes, Dad, I'm staying safe.
Even when they get the vaccine,
I will continue being safe.
Okay, well, wear
your mask, okay?
I don't trust anyone.
I know, Dad.
Like, I wear that-
- I don't need to
lose you too, okay?
I need you here every Christmas.
Yes, sir.
Guess what, everybody?
What?
Could you please go in
the kitchen right there,
and get me a box, please?
Sure.
- Yeah!
- I'll get it.
It's okay, Carl.
I asked him to do it.
I know!
I know a man's always
supposed to help his wife.
I don't need any help.
I want him to do it.
Honey, come on, man, chill.
I think this is it?
Oh, my gosh!
Mom, where did you find this?
What's in there?
Oh, it's a box
of my old memories.
Okay.
Like, I had this.
I got this when I was nine.
It was my favorite present.
It's why I like
Christmas so much.
I had one of those.
Awe!
It looks amazing.
Just lookin' back on things,
like just to see
how far we've come.
Oh, look at this!
This is from your
freshmen year in college.
- Oh!
- It's a phone case.
♪ I'm coming out ♪
Oh, gosh!
Look!
This is the list of my
favorite gifts ever.
- Oh!
- Some of these
I don't think you
could find anymore.
Really?
What's that, Dad?
Hey, what's that?
It's a picture of
my sister, Chrissy.
I'm sorry.
I'll get her.
I'll get her, excuse me.
I'll be out in a minute.
Carla, are you okay?
I'm fine, Jason.
How come you never keep
pictures of your sister?
I mean, that was my
first time seein' her.
Yeah.
Sometimes it's just so hard.
And it's a lot to
put on my family.
And dad blames himself for
everything that happened.
He still wears that
guilt so heavy.
I can definitely tell.
He's protecting you
double times over.
He's scared he's
gonna lose me too.
I mean, it looks like
you guys were best friends.
Yeah.
Chrissy and I got into a lot
of trouble growing up.
I see.
Remember that time
you told me about
how you all snuck out to
try to buy some alcohol
for your parents' anniversary,
and they thought you all were
sneaking out to meet boys?
Right.
Didn't you say, Chrissy fell
out the window or something?
She was so clumsy.
Like, how do you fall out
of a first floor window?
Right.
Baby, you know you can talk
to me about anything, right?
Yeah, I know.
I know.
Baby, I'm gonna give you some
time to yourself, all right?
And just holler at
me when you come out.
Thank you for checking on me.
Of course, babe.
I can't do this.
What?
What you mean, you can't do...
What gonna happen now, man?
The whole
thing with her sister
and everybody being emotional,
it just feels wrong.
Look, man, I'm just gonna wait
till everything calms down,
and I'm gonna tell
her the truth.
Talking about emotional stuff!
Man, you sound like a
girl right now, man!
Tighten up, man!
Being that she's emotional
is the best time, man.
That means she's
vulnerable, Cuz.
I don't know, man.
I know you don't know, man.
That's why you got me here, man.
Now, use them emotionals
as your friend, man.
You need her vulnerable,
so you can get her wrapped
around your finger, man.
Okay.
There's this Christmas
list that she has.
It has her favorite
Christmas gifts on it,
gifts that she's always wanted.
sh*t, man!
You done struck gold, Cuz.
Now, you put that in
your playbook, man.
How many gifts is it, man?
About five.
Five, Cuz?
Well, that's it, man.
It's five days till
Christmas, man.
You need to get started
in the mornin', man.
I gotta find
a way to get this list
without anyone knowing.
Chocolate cosmos.
Hi!
What?
What are you doing?
I need a favor.
Laura, I'm not
trying to be rude,
but you're being a little
annoyin' right now.
Uh-huh, I'm just
asking for a favor.
I have something
important that I have to do.
I have to go now!
Okay, me too,
and I need your help.
What is it?
I can't tell you here.
This is a once in a
lifetime opportunity.
I don't have time for this.
I gotta go now!
Why doesn't anyone like me?
Jason, would you like to have
some breakfast, sweetheart?
No, Mrs. Parker, I'm actually
on my way out the door.
Hey, remember, a man should
always help out when he can.
Hey!
Are you gonna help me or what?
- I guess.
- Okay.
Show me your fighting stance.
My what?
Your fighting stance.
Why?
Listen, I know
you're up to something.
You need to keep Carla happy.
How do you know that?
I'm a neighbor.
We know things.
Look, Laura, I have a mission
impossible moment right now.
I don't have time for
this foolishness, okay?
Bye!
Do you want the
chocolate cosmos
as her Christmas gift or what?
How do you know that?
Like I said, I'm a
neighbor, I know things.
Now, show me your
fighting stance!
Hit me.
No, I'm not hittin' you.
Oh, whoa, what are you doing?
Hit me!
No, I'm not hitting a woman.
Oh, my-
- Hit me!
Come on, Chocolate Cosmos.
I gotta get you ready.
I'm not hitting a woman!
No!
Come on, I
gotta get you ready,
Chocolate Cosmos.
I'm not hitting you.
I'm not hitting you.
What?
Laura, what are you doin'?
You see what you made me do?
My god.
Are you okay?
The student has
become the master.
Laura, what is
really goin' on?
What are you doin?
I don't have time for this!
You better know where
those cosmos are at!
So you're gonna
leave me for her, huh?
You left me for him?
You let me first!
You were probably
with him the whole time!
I've got too
much class for that.
You married him?
I knew it.
Get him, Shawn!
Huh?
No!
No, no, no!
Get him!
Get who?
Get him!
What you mean, "get him"?
- Yeah.
- No.
No.
Cosmos!
Uh-uh.
Get him!
- That's a dude!
- So?
I'm g*y, but I'm not that g*y!
I said I would open doors
for you and rub your feet.
I didn't say nothin' about
throwin' hands with a
bunch of testosterone!
You know what?
I feel something!
Yes, I...
I've changed!
I've changed!
I am no longer g*y!
So I guess you don't
need me anymore, Karen.
Cosmos.
I don't like him.
Daddy, you don't like nobody.
That's my job.
Your opinion's irrelevant.
Whatever.
Why don't you like him?
'Cause I don't like him,
that's why!
That's not a reason.
That's my reason!
That's all I need.
Oh, I can't with you.
- I can't.
- Where's he at, hmm?
Where's he at?
- I don't know.
- I've been callin'.
Where have you been?
I have been calling
you all afternoon,
you and Laura,
and neither one of you guys
are picking up your phone!
I mean, Jason, we
were worried about you.
Yeah, all of us.
Jason, you realize,
we do family stockings
together every year.
Be right.
Oh, be right back.
You might be right.
Okay.
Sorry, I just kinda
got a little lost.
Let me explain.
There's this flower.
It's a very, very rare flower
that only grows in Mexico,
and it's been extinct for
like the last few years.
Just listen.
Being here with you all
made me realize
how important and
rare Chrissy was.
I know, I know.
I hate to even bring it up.
But I wanted to...
I wanted to give you something
that was just as rare
and special as she is.
Your chocolate cosmo.
Oh my, god.
Where did you get this?
Laura helped me find it.
I haven't seen a flower like
that since Chrissy passed.
It smells like chocolate.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
I don't even know how
you take care of
one of these things.
You're welcome.
Mom, come help me find out.
You're trying to take
my daughter from me.
It's not gonna be easy.
Yo, Earl.
It's workin'.
Of course it is, Cuz.
What did I tell ya, man?
I bought her the
first gift on the list,
and it blew her mind.
Okay, Cuz.
What was it, man?
The chocolate cosmo flower.
Jason?
Anyway, man, how it
goin' with the folks, man?
You gettin' in good
with her dad, man?
I'm working on it!
Listen, we're about to
go play family charades,
or something like that,
so, you know, it'll give
me more time to work on it.
Okay.
Sure.
All right.
Yeah, whatever, man.
Bye.
Oh!
Hey, Mr. Parker.
How you doin'?
What are
you doing in the closet?
I'm not hidin'.
I didn't ask if
you were hiding.
I said, "What are you
doing in the closet?"
Oh, I was checking your modem,
see if the...
My router...
My service was bad,
- I was just-
- Stop!
You've been on the
phone all day long.
What are you hiding?
Nothing.
I'm ready to play charades.
Right
now, as a matter of fact.
So let's go.
Sure, sure.
Oh, I want us to...
- You're good.
- We're ready.
You know how to play charades.
Dad, where have you been?
Come on, we're trying to
start the game!
I got it, I got it,
I got it.
All right, Mom, it's
person, place, or thing.
- Okay.
- Those are your categories.
Hey, baby.
All right, Mom, focus.
- This charades.
- Okay.
Dad, Dad, Dad,
do you know how to play?
Yes,
I know how to play charades!
I'm not your mom.
- We gonna find out.
- We're gonna skip that.
- Don't worry about that.
- All right, you guys ready?
All right.
Okay, I can do this one.
All right.
Person, place, or thing.
Don't she look so cute?
- Man, just-
- Oh.
- It's a movie?
- Yeah.
Yeah, it's a movie.
Two words.
"This Christmas"!
How did you guess that?
I'm your neighbor.
We know things.
That's really freaky, man.
- I mean, it was.
- Okay.
Whatever.
Okay, let's go, Zeke!
Come on!
We got it.
- Big Zeke!
- Shake it out, shake it out.
- Let's do it.
- All right.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- All right.
- Turn in!
- You're reelin'
- somethin' in?
- Gettin' warm.
- Gettin' warm.
- Fishin'.
- Fishin'.
- Fishin'?
Yeah, he could be fishin'.
I do that - Fishin',
okay.
- when I go-
Maybe.
I got it, I got it!
I got it, I got it!
What you got?
Bourbon!
Mama.
There was no liquid
involved in this.
Okay-
Hey, it was hard.
- He is a person!

Oh, I do!
Does anybody

So what's good, military man?
Nothing much, man.
Just enjoying my
time with the family.
Yeah, that's cute.
So how you like it
over there in Lejeune?
It's a job.
Mm-hmm.
It's cool.
Hmm.
Well, I heard the news.
What news?
Yeah, what news?
Oh, Japan.
I heard, like,
almost the whole base
is supposed to take a
mandatory PCS to Japan.
Wait, what?
Did you know about this?
- No.
- I see how you haven't?
Only the three lowest
ranks gotta go.
Hey, hey, hold on.
He doesn't work
there and he knows.
You work there and
you don't know?
If I would have
heard something, man,
I would've said it.
I'll look into it.
I'll look into it.
- Here you go.
- Jason.
You might wanna look into
the unemployment line too.
Zeke, shut up!
Just saying.
Jason?
Jason?
Jason, I am trying
to talk to you!
You are kidding me?
What do you want from me?
Are you gonna call?
- Yes.
- When?
Soon!
What's the rush?
What's the rush?
If they send you to Japan,
I can't go with you.
So what?
All we have to do
is get married,
and you will be able to go!
I don't wanna marry
you because of Japan!
I wanna marry you
because it's right.
I wanna marry you
because you love me.
I wanna marry you because
you want to get married.
What about my family?
Carla, calm down.
Calm...
- Don't tell-
- Trust me!
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm doin' this for us.
Trust you?
You've got to be kidding me?
Dave?
Hey.
Look, I need a favor, all right?
I need to know if a person's
gettin' transferred to Japan.
I'm gonna send you
their name in an email,
hit me back.
All right.
Oh, yeah, boy,

Whoo!

Nah, Cuz.

That's in a few days!

How you're gonna come

There's only
one way to find out, Cuz.
You up?
What do you want, Jason?
Well, first and foremost,
I just came to check on you.
I'm fine.
Carla, I know what I did was,
it was a little
messed up earlier.
I understand.
Listen, I just need you to trust
me on this whole situation.
- I'm handling it.
- Trusting you
is the last thing
I'm going to do.
I understand you're upset,
and, you know, there's
really not much
we can do about
that at this moment,
but I'm trying to
There's a lot
move past that.
How?
I bought something for you.
- Okay.
- It's not a...
I know it's not gonna
smooth everything over,
but I just...
I just want you to feel better,
so we can move past this.
- Close your eyes.
- So a guilt gift?
Close your eyes.
No, it's not a guilt gift.
Close your eyes.
Be careful.
Open it.
Where did she get that?
I have my resources.
But...
But these are
really hard to find.
Don't worry about that.
This doesn't
make anything okay.
- I know that.
- I am still mad at you.
I understand.

Good morning.
Hey!
Good morning, beautiful.
How are you?
I'm good.
How are you?
Well, it's almost Christmas,
the big day.
Yeah, for all of us.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
In the argument,
everything just got
taken out of control,
and I should've
just believed you.
It's all good, baby.
You don't have to call in.
That's fine.
You sure?
Yeah.
It's what relationship's
about, right?
Trust.
That's true.
I'll be out in a minute.
- Okay.
- All right.
Hey, are you The Plug?
Yeah, that's me.
Okay.
You got the toy?
Only have one left.
Is this ill*gal?
Do it seem ill*gal?
Yes, it does.
Why you want this toy?
My wife has always
wanted it since childhood.
She never had a
chance to get it.
Oh, so this supposed
to be special!
Yeah, man, it's
a pretty big deal.
You got it?
Give me $ .
$ ?
You said it was free.
It was, until you
said it was special.
Oh, no, man!
See, that's not...
That's not fair, man.
You tricked me!
$ .
$ !
I don't even have .
Come on, man.
That's not nice.
Come on, man.
You know that's not nice.
You wanna go for ?
Okay, okay, okay, see,
now, we're bein'
outrageous, man.
Come on!
What can I give you?
I don't have $ right now.
Is there anything
else I can give you?
There's a ice cream
shop up the street.
There's McDonald's that way.
What can I get you?
Can I get you a Happy Meal?
You want a Power Ranger?
What can I get you?
You want some cake?
Your shoes.
Come again?
Your shoes!
My shoe?
No, no, no, no, no.
Come on, man!
These things took me
two months to get.
These are my babies, man.
Please!
No shoes, no doll.
Hey, babe.
Babe?
Yes?
I got a surprise for you.
Me too.
Look what dad got me.
The black girl Magic doll.
My favorite Christmas
gift when I was a kid.
Yeah, I got it
from this little boy.
He had about eight,
nine, of 'em.
But he had these really
expensive shoes on.
They were actually really
too big for his feet,
but, you know, they
were really expensive.
They actually kinda
looked like...
Well, the ones you were wearing.
She looks just like me.
Isn't this great?
Yeah, it is.
Baby, where are your shoes?
Jason!
I told you.
Guys, can we
get some help over here?
No, no, no, we don't
need any help over here!
As long as nobody's
messin' with my liquor.
Nobody's
touching your liquor, Mama.
I think Mr. Parker's on to me.
He knows something.
So he is going to Japan?
He requested to go.
I don't know yet.
So what's the next plan?
Hey, babe.
Can you get off the phone?
It's Earl.
I didn't ask who it was.
Earl, let me go, man.
All right.
Bye.
Yes, babe?
You do realize
Christmas is the most important
time for me and my family?
Mm-hmm.
You have spent every moment
either on the phone or
away from the house.
Okay, babe, I'm so, so sorry!
What can I do for you
my queen, my love?
How can I be of service to you?
You can go in the house
and get the rest of
the Christmas lights.
Okay.
Smile.
You're lucky I love you.
Mom, what are you doing?
Mmmmm.
Are you serious?
What's up, Pops?
So were you planning on
breaking my daughter's heart?
What are you talking about?
I know that you're
going to Japan,
and I know that you
requested to go.
Listen.
I just need more time, man.
I'm gonna tell her.
It would break her heart.
You know, I don't
think that's the problem.
The problem is, you're not
man enough to tell her.
Sir, listen, I just need
- a little more time.
- Get
- I'm gonna tell her.
- Your hand
off of me!
You know what?
You don't deserve to
be in this family.
You're a liar.
Jason, what's wrong?
Nothing, babe.
That didn't look like nothing.
Nothing!
Why are you
raising your voice?
Listen, I'm sorry.
You never yell at me.
I got a lot
goin' on right now.
I don't need this.
All right, Carl.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Nothing?
Out there is nothing?
You don't wanna know.
Carl, I'm your wife.
I need to know, so
tell me what's wrong!
Jason is getting
transferred to Japan,
and he hasn't told Carla.
Jason can't go, because
they are not married.
No, Carla can't go,
because they're not married.
There's gotta be
some explanation.
You want an explanation?
He's not man enough to tell her.
You wanna know what he did?
About a year ago,
him and Carla were
upset with each other.
He went into his
lieutenant's office,
and he requested a transfer
to get as far away
from her as possible.
Oh, no.
Oh, god.
We gotta tell her.
Oh, no!
We aren't telling her anything.
We're not gonna break
our daughter's heart.
This is on him.
On him.
What do you have against Jason?
I mean, ever since he got here,
you've been on his case!
This was supposed-
I've already lost
one daughter!
I'm not gonna lose another one!
I lost a daughter too!
Yes.
You're not in this
by yourself!
Yes, but she was my baby!
My baby!
So what you gonna do, huh?
You gonna stay in this room
and be mad at everybody?
Oh, that's
perfect coming from you.
What you mean by that?
What about you?
What about me?
You live with a
drink in your hand.
You live with a
bottle in your pocket!
Don't do that.
Don't you do this to me.
Don't you dare do this to me!
I can't say anything back?
You know what?
Don't even worry about it.
Just go back out
there or something.
I'll be out there in a minute.
Oh.

Well...

I asked you to do
two things for me.
What are they?
I like you.
You nice.
That Mr. Parker mean man.
- A mean man.
- Is that right?
That's right.
I asked you to not
break my daughter's heart.
Answer me!
Oh, was that
yours, Ms. Parker?
You want some?
I asked you not to
break daughter's heart.
Do you know what number two is?
Only if it's in the bathroom.
Do you know
what number two is?

Okay, you win.
I don't understand
this generation.
When it comes to being sneaky,
y'all are just pure genius.
But when it comes to
just telling the truth
to someone you love,
to your wife, to
someone you care for,
you're just the dumbest
creatures on the planet!
- Sir, with all due respect-
- Just stop!
Stop, stop!
Just...
You win.
You gonna dance for us now?
Morning.
Jason, what are you doing?
Did you drop something?
Carla, I know this is
not on your Christmas list,
and I know this is not a part
of your Christmas tradition.
I've never loved a woman
the way that I love you.
Your smile, your grace,
your passion for people,
your intelligence.
I don't wanna go another
day without you in my life.
Carla Renee Parker,
will you marry me?
Yes!
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
- You can say no.
- Yes, yes, yes!
Okay.
Okay, you know what?
You know what?
Like I said, "You win".
Now tell her.
Tell me what?
I'll tell you later.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
If you're gonna go all
the way with her, then go.
Carl, stop!
What's he
talking about, Jason?
We need to talk.
We need to talk now.
Now he can be a man.
What is wrong with you?
Babe, promise me
you will not get mad.
No, I won't
promise you anything.
Okay.
Remember when Zeke
mentioned Japan?
Yes, but I'm not liking how
this is starting to sound.
He was telling the truth.
I'm leaving.
What?
How long have you known?
A few months now.
- A few months?
- Yeah.
But when were
you gonna tell me?
Wait, don't answer that.
If you've known
for a few months,
then that means you were
one of the first people,
and if you were one
of the first people...
Jason, did you request
to get sent to Japan?
Yes.
Why would you request
to get sent to Japan?
You know I can't go with you.
Because I was upset.
Upset about what?
I was upset with the way
you were flirting with Marcus.
So the first thing I did was,
I marched straight on
into my lieutenant,
and I told him, "Hey,
man, ship me off".
"I'm pissed."
- Jason, you sound crazy.
- I'm trying to get away-
That's just what it.
Guys are always
gonna flirt with me.
It's always gonna be perceived.
Like it's...
Jason,
do you wanna marry me?
Was all this just-
- I do want to marry you.
- That wasn't a lie.
- Shut up!
Shut up.
The Christmas list,
all of that was just an
attempt to cover your lie,
so people wouldn't find out.
You never cared about me.
You used my dead sister
against me, Jason.
I would never do that.
You did that!
But don't worry about it, Jason.
Go ahead and pack your
bags and go off to Japan,
'cause I promise you,
you are not the last man
that can get whipped by this.
Hi, mom.
I was just calling to
say Merry Christmas.
Thank you.
So I was thinking,
maybe the family could get
together for New Year's,
since we haven't seen
each other in a while?
You would love that?
Me too.
I know we haven't seen
each other in a long time.
We don't get together very much.
Oh, I didn't ask,
because you didn't ask.
Okay.
Sounds good.
I love you.
Bye.
I feel you, Cuz, man.
Like, I know what you're
goin' through, Cuz.
I go through it with my old
ladies all the time, man.
But to be honest with you, Cuz,
when you got a frigerator
this empty, man,
I don't know if no woman
wanna marry ya, man.
What is this right here?
You got Fula water.
Come on, Cuz.
You ain't even got no Kool-Aid.
Hold up!
- Are you in my house?
- Hey, Cuz,
you worryin' about
the wrong thing, man.
What you need to be
worryin' about, man,
is how to get your old
lady to marry ya, man.
Can you give me real advise?
Listen, Cuz.
I told you, man.
Just tell her you
got the COVID, man.
My folks, they quarantinin'
right now, man.
I made one phone call.
Earl, Earl, Earl!
I can get 'em to
- call for ya, man.
- Stop!
You need to learn
how to love a woman
before you can
tell someone else!
"Love a a woman",
what you mean, Cuz?
I ain't gotta love
no woman, Cuz.
All the honeys love me, man.
Easy Dollars, holler at 'em.
You've been
the same guy for years!
You haven't grown a bit.
What you mean, I ain't
goin' nowhere, man?
You must of ain't heard
my new mix tape, man,
no brakes, no airbags,
while you're , man.
Fire, man.
Fire, man.
I'm saying, grow up, Earl!
Take care of your kids.
All of them!
You made them!
Get you driver's
license legal again.
- Get those warrants-
- What, Cuz?
Get insurance on your car.
So that's how you feel, man?
Please get
rid of that shoe box
and get a bank account.
Peace.
I know.
I know, baby girl.
The best advise I
can give you is,
I know for sure
that man loves you.
How do you know if
someone loves you?
This man ran around this town
doing everything he could
do to make you happy
so you wouldn't leave him.
Now, yes,
the way he went
about it was stupid,
- but it was still love.
- Yeah.
But dad, love is not enough.
True love is enough.
I mean, you and
mom have true love.
What's love?
Dad, I don't
even know anymore.
Love is buying
your mom what she needs,
even when she gets on my nerves.
Love is watching
a TV show I hate,
because I like how it puts
a smile on your mom's face.
True love is working overtime
for an entire year straight
to get a house I don't like,
but I know your mother does.
I do it because I love her.
Love is sacrifice,
not control, or letting people
run over you, but sacrifice.
Carla, listen.
First of all, I just
wanna say, thank you.
Thank you for every bit of
joy that you've given me.
I know I just made
a complete mess
out of these last couple
days, and I apologize.
Carla, you are God's
gift to this world,
and I just want
you to know that.
I wanna marry you.
I'm gonna marry you,
but I want it to be...
I want it to be right.
And I apologize for
all of this mess.
And if you can find it in
your heart to forgive me,
and please, please just say yes.
I love you.
Yes.
Babe, what are you doin' here?
Making a sacrifice.
Huh?
Jason, I've come
to get my man back.
Babe, what you doin'?
Get up!
Get up!
You are my queen,
and queens don't bow to anybody.
I love you,
and I apologize
for all this mess.
What I do know is,
I need you in my life.
You are God's gift.
Carla Renee Parker...
Let me do this right.
Carla Renee Parker,
I don't wanna take another step
without you by my side forever.
I love you.
Will you marry me?
Yes.
Yes, I will.
Ah, man.
What time is it?
A little after-
- Okay, we gotta go.
We gotta get to the
Justice of Peace,
or else we're gonna have
a Zoom relationship.
- Okay?
- Okay.
Come on!
Hey, babe.
- Hey.
- That's everything.
- Keys are turned in.
- Okay.
- Apartments checked out.
- All right.
- Storage is handled.
- Okay.
Can you think
of anything else?
It looks like
we got everything.
Mmmmm, the passports?
- Yeah, I got 'em.
- Okay.
- Wallets?
- Got it.
- Carry-ons?
- In the trunk.
I think that's everything.
It is.
You seem so
- Nervous?
- Nervous.
- Yeah.
- Very nervous.
- Yes.
- It's okay.
It's okay.
It's a new start for us.
We'll be fine.
Chrissy would be very proud.
She would.
And please make sure we
have tickets purchased
for next year.
I do not want your
parents flippin' on us.
I'll take care of all of
that as soon as we land.
- Okay?
- All right.
Okay.
- We're goin' to Japan!
- Let's go.
- I love you.
- I love you too.
Let's go.
Hold on.
Is everything okay?
It's your dad.
We'll take it in the car.
All right.
Jason, listen.
I still don't like you!
But you're a good man.
So you better take
care of my daughter
while you're out there in Japan.
'Cause if not, I'm gonna
come fly out there!
Ouch!
Would you stop hittin' me?
No, I'm gonna let him know!
I'm lettin' him know!
Better listen, boy!
You better take
care of my daughter,
or I'm gonna come fly out there,
and if I do, I promise you
it's not gonna be pretty!
Carl, leave the boy alone.
Listen!
Stop!
Listen!
Y'all be safe.
Have a safe flight.
When y'all get out
there, let me know.
God bless you.
We miss y'all and we love you.
All right.
